I just received this order from Hong Kong :
WiFi Bluetooth ELM327 USB OBD2 OBD-II Car Auto Diagnostic Scanner Tool
more about it here :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321522514515?var=510401076104
I wanted to use it on my year 2000 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5 Liter TDI van.
No such luck, as I found out that it doesn't work on diesel engines ...
I decide to keep it to work on other cars in the future.
When I thought of finding a way to hack it so it would work on my faithful Beemer "Katie" which happens to run on gasoline, not diesel.
Any help on this off the wall project is welcome.
As for the van, I ordered this "pro" tool :

And should get it anytime soon.
If I remember well, I read something about one enthusiast member working on building a blue tooth similar thing around an "arduino" chip module...
The ELM 327 is listed as working on Beemers Automobiles, this is a good sign
